My paternal grandmother travelled from Barbados to the UK as part of the Windrush. She was kind and giving, understanding, strong and capable. Creative with needle and thread and had the most amazing singing voice - you could always hear her humming a gospel tune in the other room. A comedian who would often ask me who I was 'twittering' and best of all were visits with my son - he adored Nanny with his whole heart. With us until her 102nd birthday, Ernesta was a treasure.
